[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh man, I would have said "hey you want to know my secret but won't share yours with me?" You did so much better than that!

I do swallow a lot of pride to maintain a good relationship with my MIL so I would eventually tell her what is in the potatoes.

Also, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like a little more details about the potatoes. Do you rinse them after boiling and do you just mash or fluff them up somehow? [/quote]

I drain them and let the steam evaporate completely, then return to the pot and mash well with a potato masher before adding in the seasonings and the cream cheese/butter/milk. I let it all sit and melt for a few minutes before I mix well. I then either serve directly for the pot, or put in a covered serving dish and might nuke for a few minutes before serving. They come out perfectly every time! I've even had someone say he deliberately doesn't put gravy on them at Thanksgiving because they are so perfect as-is. I can't take credit: I got the cream cheese idea from the Pioneer Woman.[/quote]
